Nordhoff Street is a major east–west arterial road that runs for 10 miles (16 km) in the northwest San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, California.

Nordhoff Street was named after Charles Nordhoff, a 19th-century a journalist whose writings about California attracted many transplants.^[1]

Nordhoff Street travels east–west across the northern San Fernando Valley. From west to east, it travels through Chatsworth, Northridge, North Hills, and Panorama City, and into Arleta.^[1] Nordhoff also marks the northern boundary separating Northridge from Sherwood Forest.^[2] The street is four lanes or more for almost its entire length, and it contains a gap at Corbin Avenue, although the gap is bridged by Nordhoff Way.

Metro Local Line 166 runs along Nordhoff Street^[3] and the G Line's Nordhoff station is located at Nordhoff and Canoga Avenue in Chatsworth.^[4]

The East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project plans to have a stop at Nordhoff and Van Nuys Boulevard in Panorama City.^[5]

Nordhoff is a major contributor to the North San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor.^[6] In 2019, Bus Rapid Transit was proposed on Nordhoff as part of this corridor,^[7] but it was blocked by local residents.^[8]
